Disaster Relief
The Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort responds to any major disaster in the continental United States by sending truckloads of emergency food, water, cleaning, and other supplies to be distributed to all disaster victims in the disaster area through a local Church of Christ. They are a non-profit corporation, tax-exempt from state and federal income taxes under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in section 501(c)(3). They have fifteen employees, which consists of office staff, a warehouse crew, and five men who travel across the country telling local congregations about the work of the Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort. The unpaid volunteer workers and volunteer truck drivers are the secret to the success of the organization.
